This beautiful cottage invites couples and small families for a nature-immersed stay in West Devon’s peaceful countryside. Surrounded by 24 acres of wildflower meadows and lakes for fishing and wild swimming, this is the perfect getaway for guests seeking a break from the hustle and bustle. If long, scenic walks are your thing, then explore the network of footpaths and trails nearby, or head to Dartmoor National Park (5 miles) to discover its rugged moorland, peaks, and welcoming villages. For a memorable day out together, explore the South West’s deepest river gorge as well as woodlands and waterside trails at the National Trust’s Lydford Gorge (6.5 miles). Live life as a local with visits to the towns of Okehampton (7 miles), Tavistock (14 miles) and Launceston (15 miles) or transform your countryside getaway to a seaside one with trips to the surf towns of Bude and Widemouth Bay, both within 25 miles.
Sleeping up to three guests and their canine companions, this former 17th-century barn charms on arrival with its exposed stone exterior adorned with trailing plants. Step inside and soak up the countryside vibes instantly by walking into the delightful kitchen with its sloped ceiling and exposed wooden beams and stone walls. Find all you need in here to whip up feasts for your special someone, all the while enjoying the countryside views. Choose to eat at the farmhouse-style breakfast table in here, or through in the open-plan lounge/diner. This beautiful living space is the social heart of the cottage, and quickly impresses with its rustic decor, wooden pillars and more exposed stone and ceiling beams. Enjoy the chef’s work at the dining table beside the window, and afterwards, let stomachs settle as you unwind in the lounge, kicking back on the soft seating with your holiday read or an evening tipple. Completing the ground floor is a well-appointed bathroom with a shower over the bath. When day turns to night, follow the cottage’s wooden stairs up to a wonderful double bedroom that overlooks the living space and boasts an additional single bed that can be made up on request. Guests can also benefit from private, off-road parking for two cars.
There is no private outdoor space at this cottage; however, guests are spoiled with over 24 acres of shared grounds that they’re invited to explore. Enjoy peaceful morning and evening walks through wildflower meadows or stop at one of the picturesque lakes for a spot of wild swimming or fishing. Create al fresco memories together at the tranquil lake house that overlooks the water and features a BBQ and outdoor seating.
